Calling all wing lovers and fans of having food delivered directly to their home or office: A new concept is flocking soon to the Queen City.
Wing Squad is a delivery-only restaurant that utilizes platforms like Grubhub, DoorDash, Uber Eats and Postmates to get its food directly to the customer. The service offers wings in six different sauces including BBQ, garlic parmesan and Cajun; sides like mac and cheese and a Caesar salad; and a variety of sweets like chocolate chip brownies and chocolate cake.
The concept — the brainchild of restaurateur Robert Earl, founder of Virtual Dining Concepts — has been rolled out in several cities including Columbus, Detroit, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, with more cities, including Cincinnati, coming soon.
“Food delivery has quickly become an everyday occurrence for many people, so I created Wing Squad as part of my Virtual Dining Concepts network,” said Earl in a press release. “Wing Squad will be delivery only, which allows us to launch from a wide range of locations. With this business model, the sky is the limit.”
This model offers lower labor and overhead costs, which Wing Squad says gives it the ability to make quality food at an affordable price.
“The unique and on-brand packaging will capture the diner’s attention by providing an Instagram-worthy photo opportunity along with a great meal, whether it’s for lunch, the big game, a study break or late-night snack,” reads the release.
The company has not stated when they plan to begin offering wing delivery in Cincinnati, but we’ll update this story when we get a date.
